Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. How many of us grew up hearing that over and over and over? It may have worked when we were kids, but it's no longer the truth.

See, when you have online, your child's biggest bully may be in their pocket, may be in their phone. A lot of times the bullying that is happening right now is coming from bullies that they don't even know, anonymous, and that can really hurt because your child doesn't know how to deal with it.

They don't know how to handle when an anonymous bully attacks them. See, we had that sticks and stones mentality. We had that thought of, hey, it's good. It'll toughen you up.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me is no longer the case. Words are extremely hurtful. All anyone has to do is go online and see exactly what is happening.

Cyber bullying is growing at epidemic proportions, and we need to be able to bully-proof our child to put in our boundaries to not allow those hurtful words in.
